1. Which institution issued Monkeypox management guidelines and allocated 5 isolation beds for patients?
AIIMS Delhi has taken the lead in managing Monkeypox by issuing specific guidelines and allocating 5 isolation beds dedicated to treating patients. The guidelines emphasize the importance of rapid identification of the disease, strict infection control measures, and comprehensive patient care. Given the zoonotic nature of Monkeypox, which presents symptoms similar to but less severe than smallpox, the institution's protocols are designed to prevent the spread of the virus and ensure timely treatment for those affected.
